CA tops RM in a three-set battle... 6-3,3-6,6-2!
Prologue by Steve England ESVN-Fair and Balanced: First-year rookie RM has played two matches this tournament, and been able to force a third set in each match! RM is skilled in many sports - now adding tennis to his repertoire. CA's ability to persevere against a natural athlete like RM is testament to Chris's increasing abilities!
Crossroads Park, By Chris Axtell: "The greatest advantage I had on the court was not my quick reflex, strategy, or deadly accurate shot, it was my esteemed opponent's unforced errors. The first set gave me some motivation to power through the second and remain hopeful for the third. As the third came my serve was becoming more refined and RM came into his game a little better too. We were able to produce some impressive volleys and exciting kill shots. In the end it was double faults and unforced errors that won me the game:)"
